FWIW, I find that the new ouptut is a nice improvement. I should mention, however, that for us to use ranges like this, the FSF asked us to add a note explaining that the copyright years could be abbreviated into a range. See gdb/README (at the end). I suspect that you'll need the same note for binutils. > How about includes/ too?

Either way, it doesn't get in the way for future updates, so I'd go with at least (b). As for (c), I'll let the GCC folks answer. -- Joel
